How to convert special characters in a Synchronization Editor's connector?

Hello,

I'm working on a connector from client's target system to One Identity. 

The matching key is first name - last name.
Sometimes, however, the first name and last name accents or special characters on the target system and on One Identity do not correspond, so the match does not happen.
For example:
çarlo doesn't match with carlo 

Consequently I was thinking to directly convert these characters inside a connector rule before the potential matching.

Searching on the forum I found the function VI_AE_FormatConvertUmlaut_Sonderzeichen but I wasn't able to use it in a script property. 

How can I solve this problem? 

Thank you,

Martina

    Martina, 

    Use mappings in the sync project for your connector. Your mapping's "right" side defines the target system schema. Create a virtual attribute with Property Type "Script property" and use the Read Script function to convert  and return the characters from the original attribute. Then use this virtual attribute in the property mapping rules section to assign it to the One Identity attribute.
